It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Players like Dirk Kuyt who at 35 has scored 16 goals in 21 appearances in the Eredivisie for Feyenoord this season.
I saw him celebrating with Garcia in one of the "best goals" compilations and wondered the same thing. Surely we can pull another phone-gate, confiscate Luis' phone and get some numbers out of it?!? :D

Some videos of the man training circulated on Twitter, looking sharp.

Does anyone know that training base? Is that tuggerah? Looks like someone's backyard with houses in the background lol
Western warm-up field at CCS lol

Just did presser with @LuchoGarcia14 WOW..what a terrific person he is. So full of life and smiling. So helpful. Conducts himself superbly.
Have done many of these pressers with overseas players coming here to play. Kevin Keegan was sensational & @LuchoGarcia14 is on same level. Charming and respectful. Answered every question with a smile. Made it feel very special. Well done @CCMariners

That's a positive :)

Was thinking about it today...I quite like the idea of bringing busloads of Liverpool Supporters down for this one. For one, a ticket sale is a ticket sale. 2, sure, they're probably mostly eurosnobs but hey, maybe some of them will decide to jump on board with CCM. Even if it's just for a little while, better than nothing, and maybe some merch sales in support of Garcia as well.
But getting the Eurosnobs to actually attend a HAL match is actually pretty decent from an exposure standpoint, maybe some will have some interest in the game. Probably more likely they'll keep whinging about the HAL, but overall I think it's quite a good move and quite good marketing.

And it's exciting to hear positive talk about our financial position too!

Does anyone have any sort of sense of how sponsorship agreements normally hang together?
I mean I think it's clear that LG is still recognisable and so he's interesting as a brand but. If he's signed on as a NB brand ambassador on an understanding that he's retiring and if he want still so recognisably connected... When a player unexpectedly comes out of retirement, how committed does he stay, for the brand?

Sorry it's not well worded but struggling to word it right just now.

Wow! It's $$$ value is climbing fast. I looked at it this afternoon after clinking on the link from the CCM email and it was around $260.

Wouldn't be surprised if it went for well over a grand.

Has anyone heard Fox pundits on Garcia's performance yet?
My how they would be fapping if he was playing for a number of other sides.
As it is, I still expect a few soggy trousers.
